Sumario:The groundbreaking CRISPR technology is revolutionizing biomedical research with its superior simplicity, high efficiency, and robust accuracy. Recent technological advances by a coupling CRISPR system with various DNA repair mechanisms have further opened up new opportunities to overcome existing challenges in knocking-in foreign DNA in human pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic stem cells (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). In this review, we summarized the very recent development of CRISPR-based knock-in strategies and discussed the results obtained as well as potential applications in human ESC and iPSC.
